💙 NOVEMBER IS DIABETES AWARENESS MONTH! 💙

This one hits a little closer to home for us at The Flower Shed. 🥹💙

Our very own Boss Lady has been living with Type 1 Diabetes since January 2000 — almost 27 years of finger pricks, insulin, highs, lows, sleepless nights and everything in between!

But if there’s one thing she’s learnt, it’s that diabetes is part of her story, not her whole story! 💪🏻

This November, we’re turning The Flower Shed BLUE to show our support for every single person living with diabetes, and the families who walk this journey alongside them.

Because behind every glucose reading is a person with dreams, challenges, strength and a story worth telling. 💙

Different journeys. Same fight. Together, we raise awareness. 🩵

💊 Why is Metformin still our drug of choice in Type 2 Diabetes? 💊

The “Why”:
• Proven long-term safety profile
• Weight neutral but can even cause some weight loss
• Lowers the absorption of glucose in our gut
• Improves our bodies reaction towards insulin
• Reduces glucose production in the liver
• Low risk of hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar)
• Helps to lower cholesterol
• Cardiovascular protection
• Safe to use with other diabetes medication and insulin
• Low cost & accessible to most
• If pre-diabetic it can help prevent progression to Type 2 DM if started together with a healthy diet and exercise

❗️Can lower your HbA1c by 1.5% ❗️

👀 > New studies show that it can slow aging & increase your life expectancy.
